Our MPP functionality operates at layer-3 (IP) so it can't really act as a 
bridge. (We should really start calling it "internet sharing")
In real scenarios, unless somebody carefuly places XOs, chains of more 
than 3 or 4 XOs will be highly unprobable...
Assuming such a chain though, as long as everybody is in the same channel, 
having an MPP in the middle will only help in dividing broadcasts.
